EXAM DIFFICULTY INDEX
The tables detail the relative difficulty of the exams
on a scale from 1 to 5. "5" the most difficult,
"1" no sweat at all. Clearly, everyone's view of hard or easy
will be affected by their degree of prior exposure to the particular
subject matter and their innate talent relative to the specific discipline.
Those not at least semi computer literate should add one point to the
difficulty index for computer related exams.
INDIVIDUAL EXAMINATION DIFFICULTY INDEX
Likely relative difficulty an average intelligent and
motivated adult learner would experience scoring at least a "B"
in selected proficiency exams
= No study required
· 2 = Light revision required
· 3 = A reasonable effort required
· 4 = Some real study required
· 5 = No messing around a good score requires significant effort.
For a simple pass, reduce difficulty
index by 1 in each case.
